Welcome to the Asian Mineral Resources Blog

AMR has firmly established itself as a low cost, high-grade nickel sulphide producer. With nearly two years of on-spec production and strong cash generation, together with excellent near-mine and regional exploration potential, we believe that our Ban Phuc mine and processing centre has the potential to spearhead Vietnam’s first nickel district.

“TPP”, “EVFTA” and “AEC”. You may not have heard of them but they are expected to have a considerable, some might say major, impact on Vietnam as an investor environment. Let me go into some detail, starting with the TPP.

If you’re going to succeed as a mining company in Vietnam, you need to have a lot more than just technical expertise.

Iron, Titanium, Bauxite, Coal, Apatite, Copper, Zinc, Oil & Gas and of course Nickel…. Vietnam is sitting on considerably more mineral wealth than many in the international mining community realize. However, that’s not surprising because up until now, regulatory issues, market access challenges and a heavily artisanal approach to mining have played a part in preventing the global mining industry from taking a closer look at Vietnam.

In case you missed one of our last 2014 press releases, we appointed a new general manager, Tim Ashworth, to run the Ban Phuc operations.

Thanks to our high-grade nickel mine and high-capacity processing centre, Asian Mineral Resources has made sixteen shipments of nickel-copper-cobalt concentrate over the past twelve months. That’s a full year of strong, sustained cash generation from one of the world’s few new sources of nickel production. We are ahead of schedule, have minimized our costs and each shipment of concentrate has been made on spec.
